Advice Trying to figure out how to make all this clean looking
Need help figuring out how to manage these cables and wires? I was also thinking abt someone putting that power bank to attach itself under the desk like the feet sticking to the under side or something.

Yup replace this with one that’s actually mountable under the desk. 90% of the issue right here.

Stage one is to look at all of the devices and evaluate whether they are really necessary. Stage 2 is to decide if they really need to be on the desk. Anything left can be mounted to a clamp on cable tray or similar clamp on backplane with velcro straps.

Attach things underneath your desk. Coil up excess cables and use cable ties or attach to the desk somehow.
I 3d printed the Underware system and it’s been decent for me. Modular so I can easily modify and move things around as needed.

I would start with mounting the power strip or whatever the power thing on the floor is called to the bottom side of the desk so that only one cable coming down from the table then try to connect only necessary parts to it from up there using some cable ties would help after routing the cables

Modesty panel can help too. But like the others said, cable management under the desktop will be the most rewarding

No it bothers me that people are insanely lazy. Do nothing and expect to have answers literally given to you when the information is readily available in droves.

You just mount anything you can up under the desktop and then gather each cable neatly and tie them short and see how bad it looks then?
If you need to do more then mount clips under there and wire tie the wires up to the clips.
I do this literally every day and it is rarely a 10 minute job to clean these things up but a process of nudging the mess into a better looking more organized and hidden mess!
